The Dark Side
should i tell them
should i let them know
what i have inside me
that nobody knows
should i make a confession
of all of my crimes
and if i really do it
will they drop a dime
everything i'm thinking
i think that they thought of too
i'm so very sure
that they all have a clue
and when it comes to sinning
i'm only just beggining
waiting for time and the world
to teach me something new
the lust of the eye's
and the pride of the heart
the needs of the flesh
invent the dark arts
it is in the cerimony
the worship, the ritual
where we sacrifice to ourselves
to satisfy our hearts
to steal, to avenge, to fornicate
with impunity
to kill, to maim, to imprison
a thing of beauty
to lie, to cheat, to see but
turn the other way
to remember but forget
who it is to we should pray
to raise up our throne
above almighty gods
make ourselves rulers
and that our only cause
now you see the
darkest side of me
nothing new
the twin of thee
(Hey ! what happen to the dark poet contest that this was going into!!!)
